Trusted places, trusted devices or On Body detection?

If trusted places, to activate trusted places you have to click on the actual words of trusted places to turn it on.

It is a mechanism to keep your phone unlocked under certain circumstances, such as when you are at home or work, connected to your watch or car or the phone is on your person.  Your screen will still time out, but you won't have to enter your credentials to reopen it.

If the extended unlock does not work in the settings, create a routine to keep your phone unlocked under various conditions - connected to particular wi-fi networks, particular Bluetooth devices, places, etc.  Trusted places won't work if you have location services off and trusted devices won't work if you have Bluetooth off.

 

Like @Robin621k said, you have to click on each category for which you want the device to remain unlocked and actually add the trusted place, trusted device and/or turn on on body detection.

May I see your routine?  Block out any personally identifying information, of course.  Also, can you be more specific about what's not working with it?  Even with extend unlock, you will periodically have to unlock your phone with a fingerprint and will have to enter your password every 72 hours or after a reboot.
